Students may apply for federal clerkships using
OSCAR, The On-line System for Clerkship Application and Review. OSCAR
is a web-based system that enables clerkship applicants to file complete applications and recommenders to file letters of recommendation online. Applicants designate the OSCAR-participating judges to whom they wish to apply.
Over 500 federal judges are expected to use the system this year. Students interested in applying to those judges must do so using OSCAR. All other judicial clerkships may be applied for using the traditional methods.
To use OSCAR, visit
https://oscar.symplicity.com/ and click on the
“Application Registration” tab to create a profile with contact, background, and educational information. From that point, you can upload application materials, research clerkship vacancies, request recommendations, and submit applications. A complete user manual for using OSCAR is available here:
http://oscar.dcd.uscourts.gov/OSCAR.html.
If you encounter any problems using OSCAR please visit the
help site and look over the web log, FAQs, and user manual. If you still have questions, contact the Career Services Office at cso@admin.nesl.edu or call 617-422-7229.
